UNSW Sydney has contracted the Plenary Group-led Plenary Health consortium to deliver the $600-million Health Translation Hub – one of the marquee developments within the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct – located in Australia. Hansen Yuncken has been engaged as the design and construction partner and Architectus as lead architect.
The Health Translation Hub will bring together educational and medical researchers, clinicians, educators, industry partners and public health officials to drive excellence and support the rapid translation of innovative research and education into improved patient care and better community health outcomes.
An expansive 2,500 square meters of north-facing, open public space will help to create an engaging and welcoming place for staff, students, patients, industry partners and the public.
The building will have direct connections to the Sydney Children’s Hospital Stage 1 and Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre under construction and to UNSW’s Kensington campus. It will be situated adjacent to the new Prince of Wales Hospital Acute Services Building, enabling seamless integration with UNSW and the four hospitals at Randwick and putting the precinct at the forefront of international health research and education. The Health Translation Hub is a key outcome of the collaboration between the NSW Government and UNSW to strengthen the precinct and improve health outcomes for the community.
Construction is set to begin in 2023 and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2025.
